North Ridge of Mt. Conness

12-August-2006 : Looking at the summit of Mt. Conness, and the second tower on the North Ridge, taken from near the first tower. We were probably about 2.5 hours from the summit from here. It was an enjoyable scramble in approach shoes.

Nice job leading the crux pitches on Zee Tree! That's another on the tick list that Misha's been talking about. Did you see Cathy and Shirley on NW Books? I think that's where they were going too. It really was such a wonderful climbing weekend -- the weather couldn't have been better. We goofed around on a couple of slab TRs -- a 5.9 and 5.10 -- on Pothole. I forgot the Murphy Canyon guidebook. >:^\

We didn't see C & S on NW Books, but that route seems to get the crowds ... there was a party above us, and two below. I really enjoyed hiking up to the top of Lembert afterwards and back down - spectacular scenery.
